Gained his second career win and second win at Gowran off 4lb lower on penultimate (1m, good); ran on well for fifth off revised mark in the Sovereign Path (7f, good) latest; down 1lb and the return to 1m is a plus; considered.

Both turf wins have come at Gowran, most recently last month over 1m off 80, having previously gone close here over same trip under regular rider; 4lb rise okay but draw is a negative and soft ground a concern.

Form & Verdict
Finished runner-up in a 1m maiden at Bellewstown in April; out of the money on three occasions before finding his form again at Galway nine days ago, taking second in a 7f maiden; ground has been heavy for his two seconds so perhaps not certain to relish this surface.
